Born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Quebec, Céline Dion began singing at age five in her family’s small piano bar. By 12, she recorded her first French-language album, catching the attention of manager René Angélil, who mortgaged his home to fund her career. Their professional relationship blossomed into romance, and the pair married in 1994, defying a 26-year age gap.
Dion’s international breakthrough came with *“The Power of Love”* (1993) and *“My Heart Will Go On”* (1997), the latter cementing her as the voice of *Titanic*. She has sold over 200 million records worldwide, earning five Grammy Awards and two Oscars.
However, her life has been marred by hardship. In 2016, Angélil died of throat cancer, followed days later by the passing of her brother. Dion later revealed her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome (SPS) in 2022, a rare neurological disorder forcing her to postpone tours indefinitely. Despite this, she remains a symbol of resilience, vowing to return to the stage.
